Mrs. Jobe is an avid hiker and novice backpacker who enjoys spending time in the woods. Her goal is to hike the entire Appalachian Trail. She also enjoys reading, traveling, and spending time with family.

“The thing about hiking the Pacific Crest Trail, the thing that was so profound to me that summer – and yet also, like most things so very simple – was how few choices I had and how often I had to the thing I least wanted to do. How there was no escape or denial….I considered my options. There were only two and they were essentially the same. I could go back in the direction I had come from, or I could go forward in the direction I intended to go.” ~ Cheryl Strayed, Wild

Mrs. Jobe is always searching for next steps setting goals for each school year. She intends to help Lee High School reach its fullest potential in academics, arts, athletics, and community. She believes in making decisions for the betterment of students.
